I want to buy 30x3 and 30x3-1/2 blacwall tires for my T. 2 front, 2 rear and 1 of each for spare. Which is going to give me best for the money. How do the Blockleys working out for those that bought them a year ago?
Thank you. Frank

You can purchase most all Coker tires from Summit Racing on line. Orders over $100 get free shipping so.......

I don't know if Blockley have 3" tyres in their inventory. If they do, they would be my choice.

It was very difficult but I finally found the model T tires on Summit Racing but the tires were no bargain, they were $414.00 each. I guess I am waiting with that spending spree for a while.

Frank- the $414 cost per Coker's web site is for 30 x 3½ Black smooth or Non-Skid tread. Regular tread black Firestone tires are $283.00 either from Coker or Summit. The SKU for these is 793850. Here is the link to the Summit page for the regular tread Firestones.

Not sure which tread type you wanted, but perhaps this helps, as I have always found the Summit price to be the same as the Coker price. Look up the SKU on Coker's web site then use that to search on the Summit site- the search term I used was "Coker 793850".
You can find tubes and flaps the same way.
